We took a brief ferry ride to Peaks Island from Portland on our way home from Maine yesterday, taking our bikes for a spin around the island. This place sports destination weddings, plenty of charming cottages, a shale beachfront, and a surprising amount of people coming and going on an hourly basis thanks to the … Read more
